Vehicle History Report

Makes & Models is excited to present this vintage 1979 Chevrolet Corvette finished in Dark Green over a Doeskin leather interior. Powering this C3 Corvette is a 350ci L48 V8 paired to a 3-Speed automatic transmission. This example carries a timeless late-70's specification with its factory glass T-top roof panels, original turbine wheels, factory air conditioning, power windows, and full leather interior. Finished in one of the era's most iconic color combinations, the deep green exterior paired with the lighter Doeskin interior gives this Corvette a true vintage grand touring feel. The C3 generation remains one of the most recognizable American sports car designs ever produced, featuring sweeping body lines, removable roof panels, chrome accents, and unmistakable styling that continues to stand out over 45 years later. In December of 2025, Premier Complete Auto Care took care of $10,615 in service including an inspection, full transmission rebuild, replaced upper and lower control arms, a new fuel filter, oil change, brake fluid flush, hood latch adjustment, power steering pump replacement, new spark plugs and wires, and a new set of tires. Also included are new brake lines, and a brand new battery. This Corvette retains its original character and presents as an honest driver-quality example that can be enjoyed immediately while appreciating the analog driving experience these cars are known for.
